Hobbies And Interests
Candy Corn Drop
The Candy Corn Drop is a kid favorite. 5th graders stand on a chair and drop candy corn into a jar on the floor beneath them. As they become comfortable dropping the candy, use a jar with a smaller mouth.
Hot Broom
This version of Hot Potato utilizes a broom. Sit the kids in a circle and play Halloween music as they pass the witches broom. When the music stops, the child holding the broom is out.
Mummy Wrap
Divide your 5th graders into two teams. Each team will choose one child to be the mummy. When you say "go," each team will wrap their mummy as fast as they can. The team to wrap their mummy the fastest wins.
Halloween Hangman
Teach your students how to spell Halloween terms with this festive remake of a traditional game. Rather than hanging a man, draw a pumpkin instead and, as they guess wrong letters, draw a face on the pumpkin until the pumpkin's face is complete. If the students guess the word before the pumpkin's face is done, they win.
